One more Hurray for Henrik! Although the year must have been hard for him,
medical reasons etc, he managed to produce a whole new release of Hobbit,
sorry Xymon (Guess it will take a while for me to get used to ;-)
Also a "Thank you" for everyone on the mailing list, for their support by
answering questions, supplying patches, suggestions or ideas.
This is very good for the community, to see that a product like Xymon is
alive!
The new release, the new features (f.e. notifications report), including
incorporated patches and/or fixes is absolutely worth the upgrade!
Merry x-mas to you all,
Peter

Great, thanks for the news. Is it safe to compile it and replace the=20

Should work just fine, as long as you configure it the same
as you did with the original 4.2.0 sources - same userid,=20
directories etc.
Could I compile the binaries and simply copy them directly in to the
correct bin/ directories so as to use my current 4.2.0 configs or are
there major changes to the config files?
The only config file changes are additions to the hobbitgraph.cfg
file (new definitions from BBWin, Devmon and hobbit-perl-client),
and the corresponding new items listed in the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS
setting in hobbitserver.cfg.
So compiling and then copying your binaries over - or just doing
a "make install", this will not overwrite your existing config -
should work fine.

Henrik
